Ayoze Perez goal vs Bournemouth

Also, Manchester United ended its Premier League scoring drought with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion, while Leicester striker Jamie Vardy scored for the ninth straight league match in a 2-1 victory against Watford.

It couldn’t get any worse for Newcastle fans though.

Elliot pulled off a string of fine saves as McClaren’s men sneaked out of Bournemouth with a hugely fortunate win. Steve McLaren needs to reorganise his side now ahead of the visit to Bournemouth and they make the trip on the back of a stalemate at home to Stoke City.

Newcastle took the lead shortly afterward with its first meaningful foray into the Bournemouth half.

He is on course to win a big bet after Newcastle beat Bournemouth yesterday, and just needs Arsenal to beat Tottenham today to secure a huge way out from the bookies.

Newcastle are without as many as twelve senior players, with Curtis Good, Emanuelle Riviere, Tim Krul, Steven Taylor, Karl Darlow, Gabriel Obertan, Jack Colback, Rolando Aarons, Rob Elliot, Daryl Janmaat, Kevin Mbabu and Massadio Haidara all definitely out of the match with injury.

The goal was as slickly created as it was unexpected, with Aleksandar Mitrovic’s back-heel moved on by Georginio Wijnaldum to Perez, who squeezed into the box before toe-poking a left-foot shot into the bottom-right corner.

McClaren stressed Elliot’s continued importance to Newcastle as his other senior goalkeepers continue to battle their own injury issues.

King stung Elliot’s palms with an angled shot in the fourth minute before Paul Dummett blocked a Matt Ritchie attempt amid a sluggish start from the visitors.

Ritchie raced onto a unsafe cross to head goalwards, only for the Newcastle goalkeeper to tip over the bar.

Gosling fluffed another effort to continue the trend and then Junior Stanislas blasted wildly over the bar in acres of space.

After so many half-chances and missed opportunities, the hosts’ heads finally dropped, leaving the tie to peter out somewhat.

Bournemouth stars seemed to be hoping for an intervention as the clock wound down and were screaming for a penalty when Newcastle defender Chancel Mbemba body checked Andrew Surman in the area, but their appeals were waved away by referee Lee Mason.

Newcastle climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of Bournemouth, who have lost all four Premier League games between the October and November global breaks. We were anxious after last week’s game but he had trained the last couple of days.
